Andre Petroski Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Brady
/
The former Ultimate Fighter contestant used a single takedown in each round to successfully put Dylan Budka on the deck, keeping him stapled there for the remainder of the round each time. He opened up with his offense from top position a little more in the third, chipping away at the inexperienced Dana White’s Contender Series grad, but was unable to find a finish before the final horn sounded.
After grinding out a similar performance in Denver in July, Petroski has now earned consecutive wins to move to 7-2 inside the Octagon. He collected finishes in each of his first three UFC appearances, but has gone the distance in each of his last four wins, showcasing dominant positional control.
Jaqueline Amorim defeats Vanessa Demopoulos by submission (armbar) at 3:28 of Round 1
Jaqueline Amorim picked up her third consecutive submission win on Saturday, tapping out Vanessa Demopoulos, though it wasn’t without controversy.

Jaqueline Amorim Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Brady
/
The Brazilian jiu jitsu ace put Demopoulos on the canvas almost immediately and patiently worked her way into three-quarter mount. With Amorim clearly working for an armbar, Demopoulos vocally complained about the American Top Team representative grabbing the inside of her gloves. Amorim continued to attack, stretched out, and secured the tap.
The 29-year-old has rattled off a trio of victories since dropping her debut to Sam Hughes, with each of her last two wins coming in the first round. Amorim is a next-level grappler and one to watch as she keeps working forward in the 115-pound weight class.
Gabriel Santos defeats Yizha by unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27)
The third time was the charm for Gabriel Santos, as the Brazilian featherweight finally collected the first win of his UFC career, outworking Road to UFC winner Yizha.

Gabriel Santos Octagon Interview | UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Brady
/
Santos floored his Chinese foe in the first round with a front kick to the chin, and split him open in the second with a slashing elbow from top position. While Yizha persevered, Santos remained a step ahead, salting things away with a smooth level change early in the third that allowed him to take the back and grind out the clock.
This effort was more representative of the skill Santos brings to the table than his first two outings, which ended in losses to Lerone Murphy and David Onama. The former LFA featherweight champ was the better man throughout, and should continue to grow and develop now that he’s teamed up with Diego Lima and his Chute Boxe team.
Andre Lima defeats Felipe dos Santos by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Andre Lima remains undefeated, having collected his third straight UFC victory with a unanimous decision win over fellow Brazilian Felipe dos Santos.
“Mascote” showcased the diversity of his game on Saturday, striking well in the early stages of his clash with dos Santos before shifting his focus to grappling in the second and third rounds. Lima advanced to dominant positions in each round, threatening with chokes from back mount in the third, leaving dos Santos little opportunity to do anything other than defend.
Another member of the Dana White’s Contender Series Class of ’23 having tremendous success out of the chute in the UFC, Lima has now earned three wins in seven months, advancing to 10-0 in the process. He’s one to watch going forward in the flyweight division.
Isaac Dulgarian defeats Brendon Marotte by submission (arm-triangle choke) at 4:19 of Round 2
Isaac Dulgarian wasted no time getting back into the win column to close out Saturday’s prelims, running through Brendon Marotte.

After suffering the first loss of his professional career last time out, “The Midwest Choppa” raced across the cage, put Marotte on the canvas, and punished him from top position for the duration of the round. Dulgarian returned Marotte to the canvas immediately to begin the second, and this time, he was able to find the finish, methodically working to secure the arm-triangle choke in the waning minutes of the round.

Dulgarian dominated on the regional circuit and cruised through his first UFC appearance before landing on the wrong side of a split decision verdict last time out. Now hooked up with the team at Factory X Muay Thai, the 28-year-old looked sharp getting things moving in the right direction again to close out the prelims.

Chris Padilla Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Brady
/
Engaged in a competitive back-and-forth with the returning Rongzhu, Padilla timed the Chinese fighter pawing with left hand as he looked to launch a right, and countered with a crashing elbow to the left eye that immediately got Rongzhu reaching for his eye. It instantly swollen shut, prompting referee Kerry Hatley to pause the action, with the doctor deciding that Rongzhu was unable to see and unable to continue.
After collecting a short-notice submission win earlier in the year, this is now two straight impressive stoppages for the 28-year-old Padilla, who has won five straight overall. This was a beautifully timed and expertly read shot by Padilla, and an outstanding finish for the Gardena, California native.
